“Well you should be,” Rachel hollered back, to everyone else’ supporting hoots and shouts. “Oh it will be sooo hot if they win, bro!” a couple of guys exclaimed, and slapped high fives.

Rachel looked around, exhorting the girls who were clapping their hands together, following Jim’s lead, laughing, and exclaiming, “who here doesn’t want to see a hot, sexy girl make-out with Harley?”

“Shi-yeet, I do, for one!” Annie exclaimed, blowing out a piercing wolf whistle.

“Prom queen who everyone wanted to do back in the day? I am all in for that!”

I looked at Harley questioningly, feeling increasingly nervous. Katy whispered in my ear, “Harley was prom queen in their high school. Dated the neighboring boys’ school’s quarterback, who was prom king of their joint prom. She’s always had a long line of suitors, even throughout college. Annie and Rachel have always gotten their digs into her about all that.”

Michael shouted, “What about Katy and I sub for Harley and Aerin?”

“You can do the next round, bro!” someone shouted. “We want to see how these two hot women do, first.”

Jim jumped in, clearly inebriated by now, “Oh, and the rules are you cannot tank your performance purposefully, ok? The audience’ll decide a just punishment that even our best lawyer here won’t be able to argue her way out of. Ok?”

The increasingly rowdy group roared in approval.

I had a feeling most of them were just expressing an open curiosity about what would happen if Harley and I did, indeed, win. Well, I’m a lousy singer in public, and I could never fake a bad singing performance, so we were safe.

I smiled and winked at Harley, who looked at me with ever-widening eyes.

Was I missing something?

“Oh, Aerin, in case you didn’t know this about Harley. She is an amazingly sexy dancer, and can give the best pussy-wetting lap dance you’ll ever get, this side of Vegas,” Rachel called out to me.

I raised my eyebrows at Harley. What is she talking about?

Michael leaned closer to me, and spoke into my other ear, “Harley did this insanely sexy dance for me during my bachelor’s party, popping out of the cake as part of a surprise that she and Katy planned for me. All the girls eventually joined the party, and we had a blast. But, yeah, gotta say Harley was amazing ….”
